Reborn and married to a stupid scholar, she has a prosperous husband and multiple children

"But this is also a good thing. The river is deep and long. There must be a lot of fish and shrimps in this river, which can last for a few days."

Everyone listened to her words and all hoped that the river would be drained quickly.

Three days later, the water in the river was finally drained, and the men in the village jumped in to scoop out water with basins.

After all, the waterwheel is not a water pump and cannot drain the river water in a real sense. The waterwheel will stop turning when the water level drops to a certain level.

Therefore, the remaining water can only be scooped out manually, but fortunately there are more people and more power.

Moreover, catching fish in the water also brings a little fun to the people in the "disaster area".

The children saw many people going into the water to catch fish, and they were all eager to try, but they were all stopped by Lin Shuangshuang.

"The mud is so deep down there that children are not allowed to go down to avoid accidents."

"There are also some places that look like small puddles, but are actually very deep. Not to mention children, it is also dangerous for adults to fall into them."

"Don't just watch the excitement, take care of your own children, it will be too late if something happens."

When everyone heard what Lin Shuangshuang said, the adults who didn't think it was right at first started to take it seriously and only let the children watch by the river.

The children were not happy at first, but when the people below threw the fish to the shore one by one, they were laughing as they picked up the fish.

"There are big fish...there are big fish..."

"Wow... so many fish..."

"Wow wow wow...and the turtle..."

The children and women were very happy picking up fish by the river. They had never seen so many fish in their lives.

By the afternoon, all the fish and shrimps in the river were basically picked up, and then under the leadership of the village chief, each household distributed a few big fish and some small fish and shrimps.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the happy smiles on the villagers' faces, but her expression was a little solemn.

If these fish don't follow, it won't be enough to last for half a month. We still have to find a way to find more food, otherwise there will still be trouble.

Lin Shuangshuang looked at the mud at the bottom of the river and seemed to think of something. She suddenly asked Yang next to her: "Mom, have any lotus flowers bloomed on this river in our village?"

"Lotus? Are you asking about lotus?"

"Yep."

Yang thought for a while, pointed to the south and said, "I remember there is a large pond behind Nanshan, which is not connected to our Qingshui River."

"That pond has lotus flowers all year round, but our Qingshui River has no lotus flowers."

"Why do you ask?"

Lin Shuangshuang looked in the direction of Yang's finger and said, "I want to take a look."

"You can't go there, it's too dangerous."

"What?"

"It's haunted over there, and there are big white insects. No one dares to go there."

Lin Shuangshuang knew that the big white insect in Yang's mouth meant tiger, but what about being haunted?

Yang explained: "Many people in our village have been to that pond before, and I heard that there are many prey there."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded. It was normal for there to be many wild animals near water sources. After all, animals also need to drink water.

"About ten years ago, an old hunter in our village came down from the mountain yelling, saying that he saw a water ghost in the pond in Nanshan."

"After he came back, he became frightened and sick, and then he became crazy. The goddess in the village said he was possessed by a ghost."

"The goddess said that if you want to save people, you must ask a Taoist priest to remove the ghost from the old hunter, and you must do it by the pond."

"Afterwards, the old Orion's son found a Taoist priest and took the old Orion with him to the pond."

"Who would have known that the three of them never came back down the mountain after they went up the mountain. The villagers searched for them together. They searched for several days but still couldn't find them. No one was alive or dead, no bodies were found."

"Since then, everyone in the village knows that the place is haunted, and no one has ever been to the Nanshan pond again."

"After so many years, I don't know if there are still lotus flowers in that pond."

After speaking, Yang couldn't help but shudder. She watched Lin Shuangshuang staring in the direction of Nanshan.

He immediately spoke to dissuade him: "Shuang'er, that place is very evil, you can't go there."

Lin Shuangshuang still insisted: "I still want to go and have a look."

"What are you looking at?"

"Even if there are lotus flowers in that pond now is not the season, the flowers will have bloomed long ago."

Lin Shuangshuang shook his head: "I'm not looking at flowers, I'm...looking for something."

"What are you looking for?"

Lin Shuangshuang did not explain, but turned to find the village chief.

"Mom, please don't worry about this. I'll ask the village chief."

"What are you going to do? Are you really going to Nanshan Reservoir?"

"Shuang'er, don't believe in evil. There are really ghosts over there. Even if you ask the village chief, he won't let you go."

"No one dares to go there..."

Lin Shuangshuang comforted her: "Mom, don't worry, I won't go up the mountain rashly."

Yang still looked worried, but Lin Shuangshuang had already walked to the smiling village chief.

"Daughter-in-law of the Gu family, this is all thanks to you."

"With these fish, people won't starve to death."

"It's just that the fish is still not enough to eat. I don't know if there are any yams on the mountain. I don't know if I can carry the potatoes until they are mature. I don't know if the yield of potatoes is that high."

Although he had seen it with his own eyes before, this was his first time planting it, and under such special circumstances, he was afraid that the yield would be greatly reduced.

Lin Shuangshuang asked: "Uncle Li, have you been to the pond in Nanshan?"

The village chief was stunned, and it took him a while to react. He immediately shook his head: "You can't go to that place, it's haunted."

"I want to go and have a look. Maybe I can find food there."

The village chief was startled when he heard about the food. Is there food in this damn place?

"You mean there are yams there?"

The village chief thought it made sense. No one had ever dared to go to that place. There must be a lot of yams, wild vegetables, mushrooms, fruits and so on.

It's just...it's just that the place is haunted!

It's really not worth risking your life just for one bite.

"Daughter-in-law of the Gu family, you can't go to that place."

"I know that no one has been to that place for more than ten years. There must be a lot of wild vegetables and fruits, but the place is really scary..."

"Ever since what happened to the old Orion family, no one has dared to go..."

Lin Shuangshuang said, "Uncle Li, I'm not going up by myself. I'll find more people to go over and accompany me. It's still daytime, so nothing will happen."

"Even if there are ghosts, no one dares to come out in broad daylight. There are so many of us, and ghosts are also afraid of people."

"Besides, there are no ghosts in this world."

When the village chief saw her insistence, besides, he wasn't afraid of a little girl, so what was he, a grown man, afraid of?

The village chief thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll make arrangements to find a few brave people to go up the mountain tomorrow at noon when the sun is at its strongest."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded.

At noon the next day, about dozens of tall and strong men, led by Lin Shuangshuang and the village chief, went to the Nanshan Reservoir together.

At first, everyone was quite scared when they heard that they were coming here, but once they saw so many people, they were not afraid of anything anymore.
